Derwent Lightfast Pencil Set, Tin of 24, 100% Lightfast Oil-Based Core, Professional Artist Quality

24 pencils, oil-based cores, 100% lightfast pigments, high color saturation, velvety texture for easy layering, and archival/museum-grade permanence suitable for professional artwork.

Compared with Derwent Coloursoft pencils (wax-based, not guaranteed lightfast) and Derwent Inktense pencils (water-soluble, different technique), the Lightfast line is specifically engineered for permanence and full lightfastness. Alternatives on Fepy include: Derwent Coloursoft – https://fepy.com/derwent-coloursoft-pencil-set-24; Derwent Inktense – https://fepy.com/derwent-inktense-pencil-set-12; Caran d’Ache Luminance – https://fepy.com/caran-dache-luminance-pencils-24.

Ideal for professional illustration, architectural or concept art, portraiture, archival drawings, and any work where long-term color stability and permanence are important.

Smooth hot-press watercolor paper, Bristol board, or layering-friendly papers at 200gsm+ perform well. For maximum blending, use a smooth surface that allows even application and gradual build-up of color.

Sharpen to a fine point for detail, apply light pressure to layer colors, and build depth gradually. For blending, use a colorless blender or a Derwent blending tool; fixative can be used sparingly to set layers if needed.

Derwent Lightfast pencils are formulated with safety in mind and typically comply with standard art-material safety benchmarks (non-toxic and suitable for professional use). They are designed to meet common industry safety expectations for artist supplies.
